Consumer Description

ENGINE SUDDENLY STOPPED RUNNING WHILE ON FREEWAY, ONLY GOOD LUCK ALLOWED ME TO GET OUT OF TRAFFIC. ENGINE RESTARTED 5 MINUTES, I CONTINUE DRIVING, NOW ONLY IN THE RIGHT HAND LANE. ALMOST MADE IT HOME, ENGINE DIES SUDDENLY AGAIN, SAME 5 MINUTE WAIT, ENGINE STARTS AND RUNS JUST FINE. I AM AN ENGINEER SO I TOOK OFF THE KICK PANEL TO HAVE ACCESS TO THE RELAY PANEL: THE NEXT TIME IT SUDDENLY STOPPED, I FELT ALL RELAYS ON THE PANEL, RELAY MARKED 109 WAS HOT TO MY TOUCH; I WOULD ESTIMATE 130 DEGREES F OR MORE. I REPLACED THE RELAY AND I FIND IT HAS BEEN REDESIGNED. THIS IS WHY I CONTACT YOU.*AK
